The next day, as soon as Ren Xiaosu entered the classroom, he realized the atmosphere was a little off. As soon as he walked in, the students who were having a heated discussion in the classroom suddenly quietened down.
Ren Xiaosu walked back to his seat nonchalantly and lowered his head to read his book. He felt that since he could not keep up with the lessons, he would have to start from scratch.
So Ren Xiaosu asked Wang Fugui to buy some textbooks for Year 1 and Year 2 yesterday. Today, he would start studying by himself.
While studying by himself, Ren Xiaosu had a hunch that the students seemed to know what was going to happen, and everyone tacitly chose to keep it a secret from Ren Xiaosu.
This matter would definitely be detrimental to Ren Xiaosu.
There were four classes in the morning. One was Chinese Literature, one was Geography, one was Mathematics, and one was Physics. The Chinese Literature class was still manageable, but Ren Xiaosu really could not understand the Mathematics and Physics classes at his current level.
Meanwhile, the Geography class was a little strange. Ren Xiaosu was surprised to find that the content of the geography class was completely different from what he knew. In fact, it was very fragmented.
There was not even a complete map in the geography textbook. It only talked about things in the vicinity of Stronghold 109, as well as some knowledge related to geography and economics.
Ren Xiaosu guessed that the stronghold probably lacked some information about the outside world. For example, the Li Consortium would never share their maps with the Kyung Clan. The other consortiums also maintained a secretive attitude towards each other.
He was different from normal students. Normal students would only study the knowledge in the geography textbook. But when Ren Xiaosu read the textbook, he would think about the geopolitical issues between the consortiums.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu realized he could no longer think purely as a normal student.
Ren Xiaosu unintentionally turned his head and saw his deskmate, Cao Yuqi, looking pale. She looked like she was enduring some kind of pain, and her left hand was still clutching her stomach.
At this moment, the long-awaited voice from the palace spoke again, "Quest: Help a classmate."
Ren Xiaosu found the voice of the palace a lot more familiar. After all, every time the palace spoke, he would gain a lot from it.
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and asked Cao Yuqi, "Do you have a stomachache?"
Cao Yuqi glanced at him but didn't say anything, as if talking to Ren Xiaosu was a taboo.
However, Ren Xiaosu was constantly paying attention to the movements in the palace. As long as the mission was not completed, he would not give up …
"Classmate, is it because you didn't bring any paper? I have some paper here, "Ren Xiaosu said. He thought Cao Yuqi was having a stomachache.
Cao Yuqi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "I don't have a stomachache."
"Uh." This was beyond Ren Xiaosu's understanding. "Then what's going on? Are you sick? Shall I send you to the hospital?"
"Don't ask blindly," Cao Yuqi said impatiently, "I can't cure this illness."
Can't be cured? Ren Xiaosu was stunned. So serious?
To be honest, Cao Yuqi was a little regretful that her attitude was too bad. Ren Xiaosu was showing concern for her, yet she had spoken so harshly to him. As the saying went, "Don't slap a smiling face." Most of the reasons why they rejected Ren Xiaosu's refugee status was because their parents had instilled certain ideas in them or out of fear.
But just as Cao Yuqi was about to soften her tone, she suddenly saw Ren Xiaosu get up and walk towards the podium.
The class gradually quietened down, and everyone looked at Ren Xiaosu. They wanted to see what Ren Xiaosu was going to do.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu walked up to the podium and said to the students with a sorrowful expression, "Hello, everyone. Our classmate, Cao Yuqi, has a terminal illness that can't be cured. I hope that everyone can lend a helping hand and donate some money to her."
Cao Yuqi was speechless.
The entire class was speechless.
All of the students' gazes instantly converged on Cao Yuqi. Cao Yuqi almost broke down on the spot!
What the hell kind of terminal illness is this? Isn't it just my period?! Can't you have some common sense?!
Of course, she wasn't sure if Ren Xiaosu really didn't know or if he was doing it on purpose.
At this moment, the voice from the palace in Ren Xiaosu's mind said, "Quest complete. Awarded Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll!"
Ren Xiaosu's eyes lit up. It was completed just like that? And he even got a rare Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll!
He had really struck it rich this time!
As a matter of fact, there were too many people he could learn from in this stronghold. Yang Xiaojin and Luo Xinyu were both supernatural beings with superpowers. No matter which of their skills he managed to learn, it would still be a win for him!
But at this moment, Ren Xiaosu did not really want to use this Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll on Yang Xiaojin. On one hand, he was particularly interested in Luo Xinyu's ability to travel through the shadows. With this skill, he could easily bring Yan Liuyuan and the others through the high walls of the stronghold.
In this way, he could freely enter and exit the stronghold. This was equivalent to having the initiative!
Moreover, if he had an ability that allowed him to cross a distance in one step during battle, it would be really powerful and impossible to guard against.
Also, another reason why Ren Xiaosu did not want to use this Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll on Yang Xiaojin was that Yang Xiaojin had too many master-level and above skills. Furthermore, they were all random skills!
If he had to draw another skill that allowed him to sing nursery rhymes, Ren Xiaosu would really have nowhere to cry to.
When he was learning from Xu Xianchu, he realized that if the other party did not have any master-level or above skills, this Skill Duplication Scroll would automatically determine that they had learned a superpower. Therefore, from a risk perspective, he should learn from Luo Xinyu.
During the next break, news of what had happened in Ren Xiaosu's class immediately spread to the other classes.
While Ren Xiaosu was taking a breather in the hallway, he saw Yang Xiaojin standing in the hallway. She was wearing a cap and leaning against the railing of the hallway as she looked at Ren Xiaosu.
Gradually, Yang Xiaojin's originally calm body started trembling uncontrollably.
"Laugh if you want to," Ren Xiaosu said calmly.
"Hahahaha." Yang Xiaojin returned to her classroom with a laugh, leaving Ren Xiaosu standing alone in the hallway and looking at the field. This was the first time Ren Xiaosu had seen Yang Xiaojin laughing so happily.
For some reason, Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that rather than getting along with those so-called classmates, he might as well get along with Yang Xiaojin and help each other out in the wilderness.
When the bell rang, Ren Xiaosu turned around and walked into the classroom. However, he suddenly heard footsteps and voices coming from outside the classroom. It sounded like a group of people were walking towards the classroom's entrance.
Cao Yuqi had a delighted look on her face. It was as though she knew what was about to happen.
At this moment, the homeroom teacher appeared at the classroom's entrance. He waved at Ren Xiaosu, who was in the classroom. "Ren Xiaosu, come out for a moment."
